Hello Aviya Erenfeld, The patch 7e62a699aafb: "iwlwifi: mvm: use dev_coredumpsg()" from Sep 20, 2016, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/fw-dbg.c:821 iwl_mvm_fw_error_dump() error: we previously assumed 'fw_error_dump->trans_ptr' could be null (see line 809) drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/fw-dbg.c 805 dump_trans_data: 806 fw_error_dump->trans_ptr = iwl_trans_dump_data(mvm->trans, 807 mvm->fw_dump_trig); 808 fw_error_dump->op_mode_len = file_len; 809 if (fw_error_dump->trans_ptr) 810 file_len += fw_error_dump->trans_ptr->len; We assume ->trans_ptr can be NULL. 811 dump_file->file_len = cpu_to_le32(file_len); 812 813 sg_dump_data = alloc_sgtable(file_len); That probably means file_len is zero?
